    Yo!

    3rd Year Med Chem here.

    Finish next year, and I'm stumped as what to do. Kinda looking at joining to Gardai, or studying more and entering the Dept. of Justice as a GIII Forensic Scientist, or Lab Analyst (probably the latter if I don't go on for further study).

    Or else, I'll try for the QP program in Trinners or DIT.

    Hi guys. . .

    Hope you dont mind me throwing in my little bit :D I'm not a doctor but I do work in a North Dublin hospital. I work in Bed management and I manage the surgical waiting lists. I thoroughly enjoy my job and really enjoy working with everyone involved in the health service. And am looking forward to getting to know our new batch of doctors who joined us last tuesday! :D

    Hi all.

    The names Stephen. Just finished my Leaving Cert.

    I'm hoping to study Human Genetics in Trinity next year. I'm fascinated by Genetics and science in General.
    I would love nothing more than to work in a lab for the rest of my life.

    Take care all.

    hi im blue_belle,
    i got my perforated and badly infected appendix taken out over the summer and i spent a week in hospital, since then ive had an absess at one of my scars. i have spent so much time in hospital, a+e and at clinics where ive seen the same set of doctors at each, im obsessed with surgeons. i think theyre class, except the consultant and one of the registrars, but the interns and the SHO were amazing. i love (most) doctors. i would love to be a surgeon, but would never get into med school. so i think ill go back to the life long dream of being a paramedic. they are deadly!

    oh and nurses are what keep the system together, they are amazing! but i wouldnt like to be a nurse.

    so, hopefully ill get to be a paramedic some day!

    I'm a second year medical SHO at a large Dublin teaching hospital. I'm quite disillusioned with the practice of medicine and specifically the HSE and medicine in Ireland. I'm being banished to a peripheral placement "down the country" for three months starting next Wednesday; that might keep my whinging at bay for a while! I'll be finished life as a medical SHO next June and where I go from there is still very much up in the air.

    I'm a medic, worked for four years in various medical jobs, now doing research. Medics do NOT belong in the lab!!!!! We break everything!!! (at least I do!!). But it has to be done I guess. No master plan. Still trying to win the Lotto :P

    Should introduce myself after so much stroppy posting !
    Trained short order cook, avid cyclist, ex NCHD (studied in UCD but did all my hospital jobs in the UK) and now a GP.
    Have to say enjoy the banter here and have actually changed my opinions and practice based on research posted here.

    PS Ireland has some great sections of the health service but some piss poor ones as well, am not a fan at all of the Drumm/Harney coalition which seems obsessed using their vast budget in the worst possible way :(

    I should probably introduce myself already.
    I guess I'm now a 2nd year med student considering I've passed my exams. :D
    I luuuurve music and jamming on the old guitar.
    I also appreciate a good pint of guinness.
    At the moment I am finding neuroscience and the idea of consciousness quite tintilating. Fascinating stuff.

    That is all.

    Long time, no post in this thread

    Hons. Degree in Applied Bioscience and Dip. Cell&Molecualr Biology
    Was doing a research masters in Microbiology but a combination of my natural laziness/not enjoying it and very good job opportunity I never completed.
